Thanks for the memories A look back at Homecoming 2003 Sunny skies and warm temperatures brought hundreds of alumni back to campus for Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 10-11, 2003. Briton sports fans enjoyed victories in football and women’s soccer. The weekend also included the Athletic Hall of Fame banquet and induction ceremony, the Distinguished Alumni Award presentations, class reunions, alumni art exhibits, performances of The Laramie Project at Herrick Theatre, and a choir and orchestra concert.

This year’s Briton Classic golf tournament at the Medalist Golf Club in Marshall attracted 87 Albion alumni, parents and friends. The range of alumni stretched from Bill Lighthall, ’48, to Jordan Rich, ’03. Rich (third from left) played in the winning foursome that also included Mike Boehm, ’01, Sean Swider, ’01, and Mike Rich.

Kate and Dave Johnson, ’70, (center) were recognized during the weekend for their support of the Briton soccer program. A gift from the Johnsons made it possible for the College to completely regrade and reseed the varsity soccer field. Dave played soccer at Albion, as did his daughter, Andrea, ’00. They are accompanied by Troy VanAken, vice president for athletics, and President Peter Mitchell, ’67. Homecoming queen Annie Lerew and Homecoming king Ryan Phillips enjoy the moment with President Peter Mitchell, ’67, and Becky Mitchell. Lerew “ruled” in more ways than one that day. The starting goalkeeper for the women’s soccer team, she had just walked off the soccer field after holding the Alma Scots scoreless in the Britons’ 3-0 win when she learned she had been selected Homecoming queen.
